Who knows what will happen over the next few days

CHIEFS

I read somewhere once that, in a seven-game series tied at 2-2, the team that wins game five goes on to win the series 107 percent of the time. I also read that the team that loses game five wins the series just 105 percent of the time.

Of course I just made those numbers up. I wanted a way to say I don’t believe much in stats and probability, especially in sports that utilize high-school age boys, like Western Hockey League play does.

Heck, I don’t think there are any stats or probabilities worth a damn about high-school age boys at all, though I am a big believer that 93.4 percent of them will sleep past 9 a.m. during spring break. Or that 100 percent of them will sleep past 9 a.m. during spring break 93.4 percent of the time, or something like that.

Which is a roundabout way of saying … who really know who will win this series with the Tips? The first-round playoff series continues tonight with game five in Everett (7:35 p.m.; 790-AM) and then returns to the Arena on Sunday night (6; 790-AM).

Jeff Bunch has his advance here and a question for you on the Chiefs’ blog.

• There is this story from the Everett Herald.

• The Tri-City Americans, trailing Seattle 3-1, try to extend the series tonight in Kennewick. There’s this advance from the Tri-City Herald. The Seattle Times ran its WHL notebook today.
